Hide / Exclude specific "posted_in" category on product listing

[ecrotty]

Is it possible to somehow hook (if that’s the best way) lines in the templates that look like this :

echo $product->get_categories( ‘, ‘, ‘<h5 class=”posted_in”>’, ‘</h5>’ );

I’d like to exclude / hide a specific category when executing a product loop and displaying a product on any page.

However, I’d like to continue showing the category in the woocommerce product categories widget.

To help the conversation, assume the category is “Free” and the ID is 165.

I’d like to see if this approach exists rather than modifying the templates direct.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure but you can try this code.

<?php 
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
function rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories( $cat_args ) {
	$cat_args['exclude'] = array('55','68'); // Insert the product category IDs you wish to exclude
	return $cat_args;
}
?>

Thanks
Mohammad

That’s what I was able to come up with as well and that does remove it from the widget … but not the category / tag for the individual product itself.

I’ll see what else I can find.

Thanks!
